Urbanized Area and Urban Cluster Central Places for Census 2000
Urbanized Area and Urban Cluster Central Places for Census 2000
The Census Bureau identifies one or more central places for each urban area (if an incorporated place or CDP exists within the urban area) using the following criteria:
- A. Any incorporated place or CDP that has its name in the title of the urban area, and
- B. Any other incorporated place or CDP that has a population of 50,000 or more within the urban area.
Note: A place that is in more than one urban area is a central place in all urban areas in which it is located as long as it meets the central place criteria for one of the urban areas in which it is located.
